Caddy Shack – a hidden gem for burgers and fries in St. Francis, KS
Caddy Shack is a fantastic local restaurant and a real standout in St. Francis, KS. From the outside, it looks like a repurposed repair shop—which I love—but inside it’s clean, welcoming, decorated for the holidays, and has fun music playing. The simple menu makes it easy to order quickly, perfect for casual dining.
The service was excellent. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and happy to answer questions. Food came out fast and was consistently well done. I had one of the best cheeseburgers and tots I’ve had in a long time—perfectly fried with a great balance of flavors. Everyone at our table felt the same about their meals.
Helpful details for out-of-towners visiting St. Francis:
• Credit cards accepted
• Google reservations are accurate (we arrived and had a table)
• Meals run about $10–$13, which is outstanding for the quality
While there’s no kids menu, this is a very family-friendly restaurant with high chairs and booster seats available. Bonus points for the paper towel rolls for napkins—surprisingly helpful.
One more highlight: burgers are a generous 1/3 lb and come with a great portion of fries. Excellent value, great food, and friendly service.
Highly recommend stopping at Caddy Shack if you’re looking for a relaxed local spot in St. Francis, KS.

Robert is great, other customers were good people to share a room with. Truly a little hidden gem off 36. We will be back soon!

We had a great dinner. The pizza was fantastic, so was the chicken strips and shrimp baskets. Thanks so much.

food and dining seem to be an afterthought here. the menu is boring and seems to be “what can we get for the cheapest possible to pass off as food”. There were a few small flat screens on a couple walls that had various sporting events playing. The service was fine, I’ve had better and I’ve had worse
In all fairness, it is December, so not exactly “in season” for a golf course restaurant. I’ll go back when I’m in town and it’s in season to give it a fair shot.

We would stop here twice a month for a total of six times. Servers were adequate, not friendly. The burgers were meh but we stopped out of convenience. The last straw was when we stopped at 1PM on a Monday, the special was out, there were no burgers to be had so I ordered a wrap. The tortilla was old, the lettuce was limp, the dog ate the chicken which I could not bring myself to. I suggest these folks pivot toward customer service and fresh local beef, chicken, bread. Let me know your thoughts. I will give them another chance if things change.

Appears to be a quaint, All American restaurant adjacent to the golf course… a great option for when passing through as there is a lack of restaurants in the area. I had the firecracker shrimp with salad and beer battered fries. All very tasty!

Took my mom out for Mother’s Day. Got there and they were out of Everything! Except salad!. Finally I told the waiter to bring the bill for the salad and we would go elsewhere. Hamburgers and potato chips was not my idea of a Mother’s Day dinner!. He left and the Cook came out and said he could put on some filets. We agreed even though it was not what we wanted. Apparently the crowd was big on Saturday night and caused the advertised MD menu to be wiped out. Would have been nice if we had been told at the beginning they had no food instead of waiting almost 45 minutes to figure it out! Everyone was nice and friendly so we appreciated that. Hopefully, we will have better luck the next time.

Not a bad cheeseburger, but overcooked. No one asked about how we wanted the burgers cooked.
Our second visit was much improved. Tasty steak.
